hey guys,
So I talked with my Mom a couple hours ago and she was still in the pediatric isolation ward of the ER waiting for a bed. The oncologist on call there told her it could be a while before one becomes available as she has 3 patients in the ER waiting to go up to the oncology floor. Mom's fever is now gone, which is good news. And a quick correction to make, Mom's white blood count wasn't at 0.1 as i had previously mentioned, it is at 1.4. What is actually at 0.1 is her neutrophil level, which is what has the Dr concerned. She has been told that she will likely be in the hospital for 3-4 days.
Mom is allowed visitors in the ER, although, I am not sure what the rules are for times and numbers of people.
That's all for now... Will update more in a bit

Hi V!
I'm sorry that you're going through yet another challenge. But, as one mother to another, I know that you take comfort in being surrounded by those for whom you have been the single most important factor in their lives, your children. Happy Mother's Day! And, God bless!

Thanks, again, for the update Megz! One thing that I wanted to ask you, and thought maybe others might also be interested in..., what is the 'normal' white blood cell count for your mom? I know that everyone's is different, but when you tell is that such-and-such is at 0.1, there's no reference as to what it should be, so we don't really know what that means in terms of how low it is...
Roni, please get well soon! I'm glad to find out that your fever has subsided, but those counts have to get up there, don'cha think? Thanks for the call yesterday - too bad it wasn't a happier situation that prompted the call this time. Take care - love to you!
Happy Mother's Day Roni - hope you're much better very soon and home again.
love...
